QOTSA & NIN @ Adelaide Ent Centre 13-Mar-2014

[The Boss]

OK, I'm checking out QOTSA samples on amazon right now. I have pretty much ZERO knowledge on them as I have never bothered with anything Josh Homme. Can't stand Kyuss for a start. REALLY can't stand them

Anyway, I hear QOTSA are great live so am preparing to leave my expectations wide open.

And I had a look at that NIN setlist. I have never heard of at least half those songs - but I am only a recent NIN convert. Sucks they're playing that ratty HLAH song. And Disappointed is far and wide the worst track off the new album.

He heard one inch man and took it personally.

He heard one inch man and took it personally.

I can't imagine anyone straight-up hating KYUSS. Homme? Sure. Garcia's vocals? Why not.

Straight-up hating KYUSS? FUCK YOU WITH A PICK-AXE.

I prefer Dragged Into Sunlight..

But Jesus H. Hamilton that QOTSA was some bland, ugly shit....

[hellboy]

Kyuss are ok, they're a little overrated imo. I prefer QOTSA. Dragged Into Sunlight are cool though.

I'm not sure QOTSA are Califum's thing at all, but if he goes in with an open mind then I'm sure he'll enjoy at least parts of it.

[The Boss]

"RATED R" is the money shot. I got sooooo many people into the band once that album came out.

I don't know anyone who doesn't at least like it.

In my opinion, they've been VERY hit and miss after that one.

I hope so. I thought very little of (Aussie black metal band...please check them out) Portal until I saw them live. Then they blew my freakin' head off.

Although I'm relatively sure QOTSA won't do to me what Portal did.

Straight-up hating KYUSS? FUCK YOU WITH A PICK-AXE.

Yep. Even hated that Desert Sessions thing that everyone was saying was "Kyuss for folks that don't like Kyuss".

I look at Kyuss the same way I approach (post hardcore) Corrosion Of Conformity : bland, generic sounding, blues/stomp garage metal with boring lyrics and vocals.

Ya dig?

<shudders>

Fuck em both.

[hellboy]

I hope so. I thought very little of (Aussie black metal band...please check them out) Portal until I saw them live. Then they blew my freakin' head off..

Live is the great leveller of all bands. I was never a huge NIN fan until I saw them live. I hope to see Portal live one day, even though on record they don't do much for me.

with boring lyrics

queens, sir, are not boring from this stand point at all ... one of the things I really, really like about this band is Homme's ability to twist and play with the language as if everything is a sarcatic pun or mockery of what he's saying

full review from last night's melb show coming later on when I get a few minutes and a couple small vid clips uploaded
